Summary, etc. A self help group (SHG) is a homogeneous gathering of
usually not more than 20 persons who join on a
voluntary basis in order to undertake some common
activity through mutual thrust and mutual help.
Sustainability of SHGs was conceptualized as the
ultimate goal of the SHG formation process and thus the
dependent variable. It was operationalized as the ability
of an SHG to continue to meet regularly, resolve
conflicts successfully, maintain a high degree of
cohesiveness among its member without substantial
external support, while still fulfilling the objectives for
which it came into existence. Eighty one respondents
from functional and non-functional SHGs promoted by
non-government, government and quasi-government
agencies in Thrissur district were interviewed and data
subjected to non-parametric methods of statistical
analysis. Stages in the formation process were identified
and the primary motives for joining and remaining in
SHGs delineated. Gender based difference in perception
were observed. Comparison of SHGs promoted by non-
government, government and quasi-government
agencies was done and the sustainability index validated
in that it was found to be significantly different for
functional and non-functional SHGs. The association of

member, group and change agent characteristics with
the sustainability of SHGs was determined and a model
for sustainable SHG formation proposed.
